BOSTON, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine today revealed that Connectbase is No. 1220 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"The network connectivity procurement process today is challenging and not aligned to the customer experience in the digital world driving bandwidth demand," states Ben Edmond, Founder and CEO at Connectbase. "There are an infinite number of challenges that continue to plague and cost the industry billions. While providers and end-users have tolerated this best-effort, inefficient and time-consuming process, the world has changed, and a lengthy procurement experience is often a deal-breaker. Connectbase has solved for that and made connectivity procurement a real customer experience differentiator. To be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list is an amazing feeling and, as I've said before, a direct result of the quality of our technology and the people that operate this business each day."

Methodology
Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2018 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places. The top 500 companies on the Inc. 5000 are featured in Inc. Magazine's September issue. The entire Inc. 5000 can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
